Hello all,
Please accept my apologies if this question has already been answered....
I have a new Pentium 4 computer and I can't get the DMA working for hard
disk transfers. Specifically, its a Dell Dimension 4500 with a Pentium 4
2.26 GHz processor (Northwood) and an 845 (Brookdale) chipset. RedHat
7.3....
I noticed that the hard disk transfers were very slow. I tried to set up
DMA with hdparm - see below:
[root@yoda ide]# hdparm /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
multcount = 16 (on)
I/O support = 0 (default 16-bit)
unmaskirq = 0 (off)
using_dma = 0 (off)
keepsettings = 0 (off)
nowerr = 0 (off)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 8 (on)
geometry = 4866/255/63, sectors = 78177792, start = 0
busstate = 1 (on)
[root@yoda ide]# hdparm -d1 /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
setting using_dma to 1 (on)
HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
using_dma = 0 (off)
[root@yoda ide]#
I thought that perhaps the chipset had changed between this Northwood
machine an the older core - I have a P4 1.8 GHz machine that DMA works fine
on. I upgraded to kernel 2.4.19 with no change.
The IDE controller (according to Windows XP....) is an Intel 82801DB Ultra
ATA Storage Controller - 24CB. I've included the lspci --vvx listing from
the problem machine below - my aplogies for the long list. If anyone has
any suggestions I'd really appreciate them...
Thanks....
Mark
